THE RISEN LIFE…Dying and Rising

Holy Week and Easter have come and gone reminding us of death and new life. I recently read something that seems appropriate for us as we go forth in the year: “We experience various “dyings”, not just with the death of loved ones but also with the loss of friendships, changes in lifestyle or career,…

COME AWAY…

Come away with me. I love the sound of those words. They stir something in me. It is so romantic when my husband asks me to come away with him.  Perhaps to take a road trip, and go on an adventure together to the unknown. When girlfriends want to have some time away together, there…

BEHOLD…A NEW YEAR DAWNS FOR US ALL

BEHOLD—I’ve heard that word many times during this Christmas season, and I appreciate the thought that it means to observe or perceive in a deliberate manner. My normal custom for ending a year is to review my journals and write a reflection of the year. I’m always amazed at the ways I see God at…

THE ADVENT MYSTERY

I love the change of seasons.  I also appreciate the Church’s liturgical year with each season carrying deep meaning. Full of sameness, yet each year offering us something new. The Scripture readings do not change but our lives do! For me, Advent is a season of waiting, of hope, and a time to reflect and…

A PRAYER FOR AUTUMN DAYS

The past few falls my blog has included a prayer or poem about Autumn. I’ve decided to continue that tradition this year with a new prayer. Autumn can seem to bring a sense of nature slowing down and letting go, preparing for the coming winter. Perhaps we can read this prayer in a slow, meditative…

THE WAY OF LOVE

Often as a new month approaches and I am considering what I will share in my blogpost, I reflect back on the past month and the lessons it has brought me. Early last month, I listened to a podcast with Bishop Robert Barron titled How to Discern God’s Will for Your Life. I was drawn…

JUDGE NOT…

“Wisdom comes to rest in a good heart.” Proverbs 14:33 This summer I have been reflecting back on how my life has been shaped and continues to be formed or transformed by the communities to which I belong. For over three decades, I have been blessed to be a part of twelve step recovery groups.…

FINDING YOURSELF IN THE STORY

I have always loved summertime—its warmth and relaxed, slower pace. For me, this summer is a break from my coursework and a chance to explore our new environment here in Arkansas. Since I don’t have reading and writing homework assignments for the next two months, I’m enjoying reviewing some of my reflection assignments. Last year…

TENDING MY GARDEN

After our move to Arkansas a month ago, I find myself in a new place with new people. A new season. A fresh adventure. I do love adventures though they can be risky.  Fortunately, when I find myself beyond myself, I do reach out for God.  That has been a constant saving grace in my…
